Designed for open-ended experiences — after mastering the basics, students can design their own inventions.

All kit components are available individually to replenish classroom hardware.

Programming software is free for educational, personal, and commercial use — no limited-feature student versions or site licenses required.

BASIC Stamp Board of Education and HomeWork Board

Our BASIC Stamp development boards are the foundation of our Stamps in Class educational series. Widely used in educational programs, they are ideal for beginners yet have also been used to prototype inventions and industrial control systems. Skills learned with our BASIC Stamp educational kits will provide a solid foundation for further engineering studies.
